OC is the lifeblood of a board. This thread isn't the drawthread, this is the tutorial thread for those that want to pick up a pencil and learn how to draw. This thread will be for posting tutorials, hints, and critiques of your artwork. The whole point of this thread is to help people to create more OC and to help /animu/ thrive.

Funny, I'm enjoying it for how convoluted it is and would unironically call it a strong contender for best anime of the year so far.

The kids are stupid, but act consistently within their setting. Compared to the other kids, with a more "traditional" education, who seem to take their roles without questioning anything, our MCs seem to be the most logical humans we see. Kokoro being a cunt and Mitsuru and Ikuno being cold thowards each other were annoying but acceptable disturbances to create some drama, none of them faced repercussions for it though, and as stated above, 11 episodes is starting to seem too little to resolve every little side plot + main story.

Ichigo's betraial however I did not expect in the slightest, and even if I tell myself it's justifiable within her character, it's still a dick move and made me hate her for it.

But that's what drama is for. If organic characters can't make you love their qualities while hating their defects, they aren't human at all. 02 made me feel a similar emotional rollercoaster before. But that's what is so good about this kind of relationship dramas.

To the fag saying that this show isn't supposed to be about relationships if mechs are involved, I would urge you to try to say that this is true of a similar show like Eureka 7. I know you'll be back so might as well make a fool out of yourself again.

YOOOOOO, finally some much needed backstory and wordbuilding! I FUCKING KNEW IT WOULD COME! To the faggot who wanted to know how the franxx were made and all that shit, the next episode is for you. Oh man, I can't wait to get home from my gamenight and chill out watching the new Franxx. I should probably stock up on some snacks and drinks.

I agree with you that mecha is a vessel for human stories, but they're still doing it wrong here. The mecha don't feature nearly enough. We have multiple episodes on end where they aren't even seen, and barely mentioned. You can tell dramatic stories THROUGH action, but they're telling Franxx's dramatic stories through talking heads in the stock dormitory background, with the occasional mecha fight that has next to nothing to do with the story development.

VNs, manga, anime are all good, but won't be enough by themselves. Be careful though. The language in Animu doesn't always have good style (it can be rude, etc.). Also, as others said you have to learn basic grammar and vocabulary to be able to learn from animu.

>learning to write kanji is helpful for learning to read and recognize them.

I agree, though I don't think it need be that you reach the point of being able to write from memory to gain from writing. Simply writing them once as you review will benefit you as well.

>is it better to write the whole word in kana or write the kanji(s) that you know and write the rest in kana?

If you want to work on your recognition of the word in full kanji and/or learning the unknown kanji, then write the kanji. Some technical terms or words which use uncommon kanji will more often than not be used with kana so you might not deem it necessary to learn them in their full kanji. Like a lot of animal names are commonly written in kana. Or with some words that contain a single uncommon character, 孵化 for example, Japanese people will often write it ふ化, in mixed kana/kanji. You will come across difficult words with no furigana though, it's up to you to decide on a word by word basis.

>downloaded both the core 2k/6k standalone deck from the MEGA in the OP and the core vocab from the Anon's Japanese Learner package

Thought I could double up on each word to let it sink in better. It turns out that these two decks don't introduce the words in the same order so instead of going over 20 new words a day twice, it's more like 35–40 new words at a time.

pimsleur is a speaking/hearing program, divided into 30-minute lessons, 90 total across 3 volumes. while i've never used the japanese one, i figured i'd link it here as i have used the german one a bit, and even years later i've retained the stuff that it covered easily.

There's countless magical girl anime throughout the years. I heard that Floral Magician Mary Bell might might be getting a limited edition 4k remastered Blu Ray by 2020 in Japan, but couldn't find the source of such a rumor.

Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread名無しさん02/28/18 (Wed) 14:12:02No.15920[Reply]

I only made this so I can have my question answered edition.

I watch anime with MPC-HC and the Kawaii Codec Pack which I downloaded from Haruhichan. I often have issues with files that have both Japanese dub and English dub added into it which automatically selects either English dub or no subs meaning I have to manually change it everytime. I already tried changing preferences in the options but that didn't change anything. How do I remove the English dub altogether from these files and/or have it automatically select English subs?

Pic related is what I have set as my preferences in terms of audio and subtitles, I know the subtitle one is quite long but I have already tried different things with it and it NEVER picks English subs automatically if there is more than one subtitle track.

This is the thread where we continue the shitflinging until we eventually tucker ourselves out and get back to business as usual. Discuss whatever the fuck you want, that's what you idiots use the thread for anyways.

For our first stream, I'll be airing Ichigo Mashimaro! A nice classic is good to start with, don't you think? There will be 12 episodes, 3 OVAs, and the 2 Encore OVAs (plus a four-minute short). 17 episodes in a row is quite the marathon, so I'll include a short break after episodes 6 and 12.

It'll be my first time running a stream, so I'm sure there may be some issues. Sorry in advance! I'll do my best to address them.

If it goes well, we can start doing these regularly. I'll accept any suggestions on what you'll like to see in the future. So let's kick back and enjoy some comfy anime!
